Lessini Durello DOC Riserva Metodo Classico 36 Mesi 2018 Sandro De Bruno

The Pas Dosé Riserva 36 months sparkling wine is produced by the Sandro de Bruno winery, founded in 2002 and located in the Soave and Lessini Mountains area, on volcanic soils.

The sparkling wine is a blend of Durella grapes with a small addition of Pinot Bianco, harvested during the second half of September. The grapes undergo de-stemming, cold skin maceration in a closed press for at least 12/18 hours and finally soft pressing in nitrogen saturation at low temperature. The must is decanted and then fermented, with subsequent ageing in bottle on its own yeasts for at least 36 months.

In the glass, the sparkling wine appears straw yellow in colour with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose there are aromas of floral acacia and jasmine, then of exotic fruit and citrus fruits, pineapple, mango, cedar peel and lime, as well as pleasant notes of aromatic herbs. The sip is dry and savoury, with a pleasant citrus finish.

Excellent with fried fish, creamed cod, battered vegetables, vegetable risotto and white meats.
